My colleague and friend Keith Rutter, who has died aged 85 after a short bout of pneumonia, was a distinguished historian and numismatist of ancient Greece.
Since 1971, Keith had a distinguished career at the University of Edinburgh. He was a devoted servant of the university, an inspirational teacher, and an influential scholar who published widely on aspects of ancient history and historiography beyond numismatics. He was a passionate enthusiast of Greek culture in all its phases, and a huge source of support to generations of students and colleagues around the world.
